Hi everyone
Thanks to all for the birthday wishes. I had a fabulous day!
My birthday promise to myself was to do nothing. Not leave the house,no work, no housework,no hospital visits (the father in law is still there) and no vets. One of my dogs has just had an op, so I wanted to stay at home with her too.
I have got so behind with everything the last couple of weeks and tomorrow will be another day. I will start afresh tomorrow! So this is a very casual post today!
White Jeans a White vest top and a Denim shirt. It couldn’t get more simple. I just scooped mt hair up, it’s normally tied up when I’m at home. The denim shirt actually came off for a while today, the weather here in London has been gorgeous, so I caught myself an hour sitting in the garden reading my magazines.
This denim shirt, bought at New Look a while ago has had a lot of wear. it looks great over a roll neck sweater which is how I wore it when it was really cold. And now it’s great for a light cover in the better weather.
Meet Peggle! My baby! She has just had a lump removed from her leg bless her. The soppiest dog you could ever wish to meet! She fitted in my hand when I brought her home to me eight years ago, and still tries to sit on my lap which looks hilarious! She is Mastiff crossed with American Bulldog, and weighs a ton!
Getting back to the outfit. I just added some accessories to spruce the look up a bit. My studded belt from TK Max and this necklace from Matalan here a new purchase that I know I’m going to wear a lot. I like Tan, Brown and Creams so this will tie in well.
The White jeans are from F&F. I loved these when I bought them last year, but I’m really going off the skinny Jean look. I’m currently looking for some white bootcut Jeans, so if any of you can recommend any, please do let me know.
And here is Chuzzle! Looking very grisly having to sit here and have her photo done! It’s not so easy trying to get them to sit in the right position for the photo! She is an American Bulldog crossed with Staff. Seven years old, but still thinks she’s a pup! She cried the whole time that Peggle was in the vets. Peggle has always mothered her, and I dread to think what would happen if something should happen at some point.
It’s been so good to take some time out today! Much needed! I hope you all get to do it sometimes. hat’s your favourite idea of time out? Do let me know.

What a wonderful look this ensemble creates.
Nice dress designs.
For the most wonderful jeans you'll ever wear, check out Coldwater Creek. I've always found their jeans to be true to size and good quality–you definitely get your money's worth! The knit denim is to die for!!
It sounds like you had a lovely relaxing day Laurie, good for you. Looking good as usual. 🙂

You always look gorgeous no matter what you've got on. And I LOVE your dog!
Great.
You look lovely in this casual denim outfit, and your hair looks really nice up! The tan belt and long necklace are the perfect accessories. I hope Peggle is on the mend 🙂

What lovely puppies! I hope Peggle heals quickly. Your "dressed down" look is what I strive for most week days; home with the grand littles!
What a great casual look. Hope you're having a great week so far!
Love, Lindsey

Your dogs are adorable. Your white jeans are adorable. I love your hair pulled up. And Happy Birthday to you!! PS. I'm trying to find the #&*(&(*&#ing "follow" button and I can't find it! https://atypical60.com/ I'm glad you commented on my blog because I found you!!!
Happy birthday sweetie, I do hope you enjoyed your time out. I really like this downtime look on you – hair tied up suits you too. I toyed with bootcut jeans a little while a ago, but think that skinnies help me look a bit taller. I know you're petite too, so thought I'd pass that, my only tip, on.

You look great in your casual wear! Hope you had a very happy birthday. Your puppies are sweet. Hope they are both doing well.
You wear double denim so well! I think a day out to just relax now and then is a necessity! 🙂 It sounds like you had a really good day too. Your dogs are adorable 🙂
Hope you're having a wonderful weekend.

What a lovely dogs and such fun names! I also have a denim blouse I bought last year. I wear it a lot, it goes with everything! I hope you have a quote and relaxing weekend!
Love your outfit Laurie, you look gorgeous and Peggle and Chuzzle are adorable. Hope Peggle feels better soon and that you had a great birthday filled with love and spoils
Well it appears that I've taken some time out as I haven't seen this until Friday night. Hope Peggle is OK. Love the summery oufit and sandals. I must use my denim shirt as a jacket soon. I keep saying that.
Thank you Anna. Peggle is well on the mend and making the most of being spoilt! A denim shirt is a great versatile item. I actually wear this quite a lot xx
Gorgeous pups and a lovely outfit too. I'd be – actually am – terrible with white but think it's a great look. Thanks for sharing with #PoCoLo
Thank you Stephanie xx
PS. I don't know how I missed your Birthday!! Happy Birthday my friend

Thank you Jess. Iv'e kept my babies under wraps! But Peggle was my main excuse for my dress down day. I wanted to give her all my attention. She's really milking it now too! xx
Your dogs are so cute, they look massive but cute too haha. I really like your outfit, I have a denim shirt like that that I wear all the time, it's so versatile. Thanks for linking up to #BlogCrush xx
Thank you Wendy xx
Happy Birthday, lovely! I adore this sort of outfit! It's so easy and looks for very fresh and stylish. You could go out with it too! Your dogs are so cute. My daughter has a Mastiff/Pit bull mix, but she's the sweetest doggie ever! Thanks for sharing. – Amy

Thank you Amy. These dogs have such a bad name, it's a shame. My Peggle is the most gentle little pony I know! When I walk her people literally cross the road! xx
I am used to seeing you in dressy trousers and pretty sheaths but I am loving this all denim casual look. Cute sandals too.
Have a great weekend Laurie!
We all got to have a dress down day sometime Ada!! xx
This is a lovely look on you. Very fresh and yet casual and comfy. It's a necessity at times to just take a 'chill' day and do nothing but enjoy your home. Thanks for the link up and I hope you have a fabulous weekend.

Thank you Jaymie xx
I love this look! Totally my style! I really love your hair up too!
Thank you Amy! This is what happens when I haven't washed my hair! xx
I love white with denim! It is such a clean crisp look for Spring. And how wonderful that you sat in the garden to read…I am a bit envious of that image! Your pups are just too adorable. I hope that Peggie is recovering well from her surgery.

Thank you so much Shelbee. Peggle is very much on the mend xx
Cool and elegant look, the jeans look great but know what you mean about wanting to try something other than skinnies. Great to meet the doggies!
Gail
Thank you Gail.Yes I'm just bored with skinnies now. I just feel that the wider the leg and a higher heel can just make me look that little bit taller! xx
Your dogs are gorgeous, and so is your outfit Laurie, some of my favourite looks and so inspiration for todays #ootd! hope you've had a lovely lazy day, and refreshed your batteries. Thanks for hosting the link up. Jacqui

What a wonderful look this ensemble creates. If that is your idea of a dress down day. You must look like a supermodel when you actually dress up! Hope your father in law and your dog will get better soon. #PoCoLo
Aw, I'm blushing now! Peggle is fine,the father in law is not so good. Thank you for your kind comments.
So glad your day was good. AbsoluteLy love your hair up and this outfit screams summer's here, peeps, and Laurie's ready! Got my whities on yesterday for the first time this year, it's always a special day.
Thank you so much Mary. This was an unwashed hair day! Isn't it good that the weathers picking up. xx
Amazing fresh look with white pants. I love it, but I have no white pants.
